I know for a fact that I have ocd and I have been dealing with this for a few years and there's no other explanation for everything. I feel guilty for nothing , I feel paranoid and I have to do specific actions otherwise I get horrible thoughts about people dying or that everyone will turn on me. I will need to re read things many times and read backwards to feel just a little bit alright. I've gone to a doctor but she told me she can't give me a test due to my age and the fact that a teacher hasn't rang about being concerned, which got me very mad. Can I get rid of it on my own with no ones help, if so how and what medication?
How to overcome ocd on my own with medication?

These kind of secret rituals with irrational bad consequences if they are not completed are suprisingly common in kids and young people. You have to confront the fact that your ritual has no logical connection to an accident happening to somebody somewhere else, etc. You have to recognise it is irrational and fight to break off the ritual each time before its completion, without the breaking-off itself becoming an extension to the ritual. It is superstition which has a grip on you. (If you are religious then this is interpreted as a failure to accept that what happens is decided by God who holds all the power, not by what we do or by curses or magic) Try to distract yourself when you feel the need to do the ritual, busy yourself immediately with something else or start talking to people. This is a psychological phase, non-permanent, which does not require pills but rather an inner fight to break the perceived link between the ritual and imaginary bad events.
The doctor doesn't seem to know what she's talking about, OCD behaviour starts in young children, any professional with experience in this area should know that. Don't suffer in silence, talk to your parents, seek professional help, but refuse medication unless things start getting truly out of control, it's not a pill-fix condition. Many people simply grow out of it with time.
